âEspionageâ can be called an act done for oneâs own country whereas âtreasonâ is an act that is done against oneâs own country. But espionage can become treason when the person involved steals valid information from his own country and gives it to another.
The Espionage Act was passed by Congress in 1917 after the United States entered the First World War. It prescribed a $10,000 fine and 20 years' imprisonment for interfering with the recruiting of troops or the disclosure of information dealing with national defence.
